> I have looked on the internet and found that the problem may concerned about missing library file "libcrypto.so" in the directory /lib/usr, I went into the directory and saw 2 file libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so (this is just a link to libcrypto.so.1.0.0). Their permission is Read only, but even if I changed their permission to Read & Write, the error is still there and I don't know how to correct it.

That linker command line seems to imply that you are using a cross
compiler. As such, you would need to have this library available as part
of that cross compiler setup. Having it available from the host system
is not going to help.
